Trauma Psychotherapist & Yoga Instructor

I’m a Mom of two incredible girls, who inspire me in everything—but especially in this work. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, 200 hr yoga instructor & trauma expert who specializes in somatic processing. The brain and body connection when working with trauma is often an important part of healing that’s missed. I have experienced this powerful tool both personally and professionally; the benefits are life changing and essential.

My own journey to living authentically and uninhibited has included lived experiences of trauma and showing up to do the work myself. The journey to emotional and physical wellness has included many highs and lows as personal growth and healing is a continued passion of mine. My own journey has provided me with even more empathy and understanding of the process. The magic that I see when my clients show up for themselves in a new way makes all the hard work worth it.

In my life outside of work I adore being a Mom to Addilyn and Avery and wife to Jeremy. Our family spends a lot of time at ballet, softball and in our playroom. We enjoy hiking, traveling and experiencing the magic of childhood. My husband and I are working tirelessly to break many bonds of generational trauma and more often than not, we are the biggest kids in our family. Outside of my family I love attending live music, being outdoors, listening to audiobooks and more often than not reading research and taking information in on the most random topics. I love decorating, couponing & online shopping.

I have extensive training in trauma, trauma reprocessing, Poly Vagal theory, cultural diversity and play therapy. I have worked with children as young as three and adults in their end of life years. I use evidence based practices in often eclectic ways, but never stray from the power of having authentic counseling relationships with my clients. I currently reside in Ashland, Kentucky where I have my own private practice as well as work at Caring Moore Homes where I work with Traumatic Brain Injury survivors.

I am so glad to be a part of the Sacred Rebel Collective where I can share my gifts & continue to grow with you.
